Chapter 93: Dowry
readx;
From beginning to end, He Zhi's attitude was always light, and she didn't even like Wei Ling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But today, how can Wei Lai not understand her mind?
Wei Lai went home with the special pair of shoes, and then turned his head and turned his head and turned out the small box containing all his belongings. After counting carefully, even the silver ticket with broken silver, a total of less than five hundred taels, the most valuable thing in the box was about the piece of jade that the emperor rewarded at the celebration banquet.
Although this box is about the most valuable piece of jade, the things given by the emperor probably can't be sold for money, right? Wei Lai scratched his head a little, and he didn't know if this thing couldn't be sold, would it be okay to give it away? For example, as a dowry gift to Miss He or something......
When Aunt Wei pushed the door in, she saw Wei Lai sitting on the bed with her injured leg on her back, with silver tickets, broken silver and some valuable things scattered in front of her. She glanced at it and couldn't help asking, "Ah Lai, what are you doing here?" ā
Wei Lai propped his chin, his attention was still on the pile of wealth in front of him, and he said with some worry: "Mother, I just have such a little money, if I use it to buy a dowry, how many things can I buy?" Will it be too aggrieved Miss He? ā
Wei Lai and He Zhi had already made a marriage before, but Wei Lai didn't really want to marry He Zhi at that time, so the six gifts were just Nacai, Mingming and Najib, and they didn't even give a dowry. Now that she has returned to Beijing, she is thinking about resigning again, so naturally she still has to marry someone home early to feel at ease, but this dowry is ......
Before Aunt Wei heard this, she heard a familiar voice from outside the door: "Yo, Xiao Wei is thinking about getting married?" It's a shame that our brother is still worried about you, and it seems that the leg injury is recovering well. ā
Before the words fell, he saw He Lin take the lead into the house, followed by a few of Wei Lai's friends in the army. A few people came to see her, but they were waiting outside because Aunt Wei still maintained the number of courtesies, but He Lin heard Wei Lai's words at the tip of his ear, and several people suddenly came to their senses, and they ran over with a smile.
Wei Lai was also very happy to see a few people, and he hurriedly took his crutches and was about to get up: "Why are you here?" ā
He Lin pressed Wei Lai back in the past, and didn't let her toss, only smiled and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Naturally, I took a leave of absence to see you." But I didn't know that your happy event was coming, my brothers were in a hurry, and they hadn't prepared a congratulatory gift yet, didn't you dislike it? ā
Wei Lai's ears were a little red, and he waved his hand at him in disguise: "I don't like it, why don't you dislike it?" He also said that he was a brother, and he came to visit the patient empty-handed. ā
He Lin suddenly made a sad appearance when he heard this, and exaggeratedly covered his chest and said, "I was actually disgusted, so sad!" I'll go now, out of your sight...... Anyway, why didn't anyone pull me and didn't let me go?! ā
Among the people Wei Lai knew, He Lin was probably the most out-of-the-box, and with him, the atmosphere would never be low. Wei Lai watched him play treasure with a smile, and only then did he stop him and smile at the end: "Okay, don't play treasure." It just so happened that you guys were coming, and I was asking someone for help. ā
Speaking of business, He Lin got serious, patted his chest and said, "Okay, if there is anything to say, let's stick a knife in the ribs for our brothers." ā
Looking at He Lin's sworn appearance, Wei Lai was a little embarrassed, she let go of her hand and coughed dryly: "What do you say about a knife in the ribs, how can it be so serious?" That is, I have a bad leg now, and when I give a dowry, can you accompany me? Well, by the way, it's best to get me a matchmaker again. ā
These should have been worried about Aunt Wei, but Aunt Wei's body has not been raised yet, and Wei Lai is worried that her mother still has any pimples in her heart, so she simply asked He Lin for help.
Hearing this, He Lin secretly glanced at Aunt Wei, and saw that there was no displeasure on the old man's face, so he was a little relieved, and continued to take care of it: "Just this little thing? Rest assured, wrap it up on me. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the silver money scattered in front of Wei Lai, and asked hesitantly: "Or, I will also ask my mother to help you buy the dowry?" ā
Disputes always arise when it comes to money, but He Lin and Wei Lai can also be regarded as paying money on the battlefield, so he will ask more. After hearing this, Wei Lai didn't think there was any problem, but pushed the money forward with relief: "That's right, you let your aunt help you buy it, my mother is not in good health, I'm afraid I can't afford it." ā
It is always a joy to be trusted, He Lin unceremoniously collected the money, picked up the piece of jade given by the emperor and looked at it, and hurriedly threw it back after seeing the mark made inside. He didn't count the money, so he took half of it and left: "Okay, that's all, I'll ask my mother to help buy it." ā
Wei Lai saw that he only took half of it, and he was still a little anxious: "You can take it all, this money is not enough." ā
Half of the silver tickets also have two or three hundred taels, and it is enough to buy a dowry and marry ten or eight daughters-in-law in this capital. Of course, that's just the daughter of an ordinary family, and it's not enough to marry a young lady from Shangshufu even if you add ten times.
He Lin bared his teeth when he heard this: "Okay, you, a little more, a little less, what's the difference?" Lord Shangshu can still take a fancy to your little thing? After speaking, he smiled maliciously: "If you want me to say, you should leave some money to buy a family business, the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, you are delicate." Xiao Wei, if you don't heal your injuries quickly, you won't even be able to raise your daughter-in-law in the future. ā
After saying this, He Lin carried the silver ticket and left with a few colleagues in a good mood.
Wei Lai sat on the bed in a daze, looking at the remaining silver tickets and broken silver on the bed, and only felt that life was really difficult. She was still worried about the dowry an hour ago, but an hour later, she found out that the dowry was nothing, and the real thing was that even if she married someone back, she might not be able to support this daughter-in-law at all!
A group of people came and went away, like a farce. It was only at this time that Aunt Wei, who had been staying in the house, sighed and asked, "Ah Lai, have you discussed this matter with Ah Zhi?" ā
Wei came back to his senses, secretly looked at her mother's expression, and saw that there was no displeasure or dissatisfaction, so he completely relieved his heart.
He reached out and rubbed the corners of his forehead, leaving those troubles behind for a while. Thinking of a conversation with Miss He in Shangshu Mansion at noon, the worry on Wei Lai's face disappeared, his eyebrows stretched, and he showed a silly smile: "Well, I told her." ā
At noon, Shangshu Mansion, Huayu Pavilion
"It will take some time for my leg to be healed, or I will ask the matchmaker to come to the request period first, and then tell my uncle about the resignation later." After receiving the shoes, Wei Lai, who felt that the resignation was decided, made a tentative proposal, and she was afraid that Lord Shangshu would dislike her after the resignation.
"Chop first, then play?" He Zhi glanced at Wei Lai with a smile and joked: "General Xiao Wei, you are trying to cheat on marriage!" ā
Wei Lai blinked when he heard this, and looked at He Zhi with an innocent expression: "That smart Miss He, are you going to deceive me?" ā
He Zhi never found out that Wei Lai was still so cheeky. The roots of her ears were a little hot, and she looked away slightly, and her tone was as light as ever, but her voice was slightly smaller: "You can look at the dowry yourself." ā
That's the promise.
